although we’ve been cooking dinners regularly since we moved into the new place, i haven’t been baking much. most of my extra time has been spent working on projects around the house and garden, and not in the kitchen. it’s amazing how owning a home changes all of my priorities!
when i had a couple of extra hours last week, i decided to throw together banana muffins from ingredients i had around the house, because i miss baking so much. i borrowed the recipe from hannah kaminsky’s my sweet vegan.
the original recipe called for using dried bananas and rehydrating them, but i substituted the dried bananas for regular, ripe (but not overripe) bananas, and i like how it turned out. if i had dried bananas on hand, i probably would have used them…but i did not feel like running to the store to make these. i hope you’re all having a happy easter, and i’ll be back soon!
